Quote:
{78:21} Indeed, Hell has been lying in wait

I suggest,
{78:21} Verily, Gehenna (Hell) has been a surveillance,

Quote:
{78:22} For the transgressors, a place of return,

Love Aisha Bewley's translation of مآبا as "homecoming." I suggest,
{78:22} For the overstepping, a homecoming,

Quote:
{78:23} In which they will remain for ages [unending].

I suggest,
{78:23} Remaining therein eras.

Quote:
{78:24} They will not taste therein [any] coolness or drink

I suggest,
{78:24} They do not taste therein coolness nor a drink,

Quote:
{78:25} Except scalding water and [foul] purulence -
{78:26} An appropriate recompense.

Excellent translation.

Quote:
{78:27} Indeed, they were not expecting an account

I suggest,
{78:27} Verily, they had not been looking forward to an accounting,

Quote:
{78:28} And denied Our verses with [emphatic] denial.

I suggest,
{78:28} And have belied Our signs an emphatic belying.

Quote:
{78:29} But all things We have enumerated in writing.

I suggest,
{78:29} But everything We have kept an account of it in a Book.

Quote:
{78:30} "So taste [the penalty], and never will We increase you except in torment."

I suggest,
{78:30} [It will be said to the disbelievers], "So taste [the penalty], and never will We add to you except torment."
